Ripe raspberries with an undercurrent of blue fruit. Nice acidity and structure, not overly tannic. Drinking nicely at the moment, but plenty of life left.

This wine is really tight still. Fairly pointy acidity (6.5g/L), and needs quite a decant to open up. Cherries, cocoa, blackberry, baking spices, not terribly complex, but well put together. It probably needs a good bit more time in the bottle to calm down some.
Paired with slow cooker beef short rib, and mashed yukon gold potatoes with reduced beef gravy.

A nice blend, but without lots of character. That seems to be the philosophy at L’Ecole. Build a nice, rounded and smooth wine that works for a lot of people.
My issue is the price point and what the wine is. There are plenty of others out there I like as well or better that cost less or the same.
